‘Real Housewives of Miami' star Stephanie Shojaee reveals her pricey guilty pleasure

Think you're obsessed with handbags? There's a good chance that Stephanie Shojaee has you beat. The 'Real Housewives of Miami' star admitted on Page Six's 'Virtual Reali-Tea' podcast earlier this week that she owns more than $1 million worth of Birkins. French fashion house Hermès rolled out this luxury tote in 1984, named after late French-English actress Jane Birkin. The original prototype made for the style maven was sold earlier this month by Sotheby's for $10.1 million in Paris. Handmade by artisans, each purse has a signature rectangular, streamlined shape, two shoulder handles and a lock closure. The quality is unparalleled, and one bag can last for generations. Birkins are known as some of the rarest and most expensive handbags on the planet, with standard leather models starting at around $10,000. Depending on the material, e.g., crocodile, they can really leave a dent in your wallet. Shojaee says out of her 100 or so purses, she has a couple — including one studded with actual diamonds — that are worth a lot more. We found a jewel encrusted beauty on eBay used that's going for a whopping $350K if that gives you some idea. 'I just really feel that you should be able to work and spend your money on what you like,' said the 40-year-old who works alongside husband Masoud Shojaee running the Coral Gables-based real estate empire, Shoma Group. Shojaee, who never buys second hand, was practical about the splurges, calling her treasure trove an investment. 'Why is it no problem to talk about Jay Leno's car collection [or] other people's art collection,' said the real estate developer. 'But a girl has 100-something Birkins, like, she's so shallow. Really?' Let's hope her 'RHOM' castmates don't hope to borrow one of her prized possessions for a night out. Shojaee is very protective of her babies that she has referred to her 'emotional support dogs' on the show. 'I don't let anyone look at them, touch them, breathe on them,' she said. You can also find her accessorizing with them all over the world on her Instagram feed. In one picture Shojaee is standing on a beach on St. Barth's carrying a fabulously huge black Birkin. 'If they call you 'too much' tell them to go find less,' the unapologetic caption reads. 'It will probably suit them better anyway.'

The Valley 's Janet Caperna Details Working for Cameron Diaz

Originally appeared on E! Online Janet Caperna is giving the merlot-down on working for Cameron Diaz. The Valley star recently revealed that she was an assistant at the actress' wine company prior to her own rise to reality TV fame. 'I worked for Avaline, which is Cameron Diaz and Katherine Power's wine brand,' Janet said on the May 29 episode of the Virtual Reali-Tea podcast. "That was a job I loved." She added, "I still am obsessed with the wine." During her time as a Hollywood assistant, she even met Zack Wickham, who worked as Nicole Scherzinger's assistant and later became her costar on The Valley. As Janet put it, "The assistants are kind of a small group in L.A." But despite their shared jobs as assistants, the pair hasn't always meshed. Still, Janet shared that she hopes to end their conflict, which has been a point of focus on the Bravo show since the series' early days last spring. "Zach and I, we've been stuck with these same sort of issues for a while, but I do want to get to a place of peace with him," she told co-hosts Danny Murphy and Evan Real. "I think he's hilarious." While the followup to Vanderpump Rules follows longtime reality stars like Brittany Cartwright and Jax Taylor, Janet is new to the scene. And her road to get there has been less than typical, as it all started after she boldly approached Scheana Shay back in her assistant days. More from E!

And her road to get there has been less than typical: It all started after she boldly approached Scheana Shay back in her assistant days. 'I went up to her and was like, 'You're Scheana from Vanderpump, let's take a picture.' We ended up spending the entire day talking,' she explained on the May 29 episode of The Viall Files podcast. 'We talked about what it's like getting divorced in your 20s, which both of us had done [and] starting over.' Janet acknowledged that while their connection may have been unusual, she's not afraid to be honest. 'Sure, it's odd to start a friendship as a fan and somebody who's on reality TV, but I never felt embarrassed to be a Bravo fan," she added. "That's the truth of how we met."

Ariana Madix reveals why she keeps cosmetic treatments 'to a minimum'

Ariana Madix tries to keep cosmetic treatments "to a minimum". The 39-year-old reality star - who recently underwent her "first laser treatment" - revealed while she has Botox "every sixth months or so", she still tries to keep things low key as her 40th birthday approaches on June 24. She told PageSix's 'Virtual Reali-Tea' podcast: "I've been very interested in that [laser treatment] for a long time. "I keep things at a minimum." Ariana insisted her decision isn't simply down to "fine lines" on her skin. She explained: "I just got a little bit [of Botox] in my lips because they were getting really crusty on the inside. "I never go more than 0.5 at a time ... Because I never want to look crazy... 'Fine lines, I don't give a s*** about, but skin laxity is something I've been dealing with." However, she would never undergo facial fillers, as she's been advised she doesn't "have the structure to support it". The former 'Vanderpump Rules' star said: "That's why we started on the lasers. So I will report back after I've had all the thing." Her health and beauty regime includes drinking "insane amounts of water" every day - around 100 ounces - as well as regular workouts at the gym. Despite acknowledging that how she ages "does matter" to her, she doesn't "want to be preoccupied" with it to an unhealthy level, despite "a lot of pressure" from the industry. She said: "At the same time, if you feel good about doing something, go ahead and do it. At the end of the day, it's nobody's business. 'I am in a position where that stuff does matter, but I also know … I'm going to get older no matter what. "If you don't age, you just die. I'd rather be aged than dead." Last summer, the 'Love Island USA' host opened up on the work she'd had done after an Instagram follower shared before and after photos of her while speculating about the procedures she's undergone. She replied: "I'll tell you what i've had! you're partially correct... tox in 11's, outer brow, and my neck. Ellevate for my neck in 2019 by @theneckdoctor. "Minimal lip filler bc my face is too small to handle very much and filler in my chin. 'absolutely no filler anywhere else and def no bleph yet... hope this helps! i'll keep yall posted if i do anything else.'

Heather Rae El Moussa Reveals Why She Wishes She & Husband Started Therapy Before They Got Married

HGTV star Heather Rae El Moussa is opening up about her therapy journey with her husband, Tarek El Moussa. While speaking to Us Weekly in a May 7 interview, Heather noted she and her husband, whom she wed in 2021, started to go to couples therapy in late 2024. She told the publication she would have preferred if she and Tarek had begun seeing a therapist prior to getting married. She explained that she believes seeking therapy before their wedding could have helped them 'just to learn to communicate through things.' 'I think that it can be a really positive thing for an individual and as a couple, and communication is key in any relationship, in a marriage and a best friend and parents," said Heather during the Us Weekly interview. She also said she thinks "it's natural" for married couples to face certain challenges. "Everyone goes through ups and downs and is learning how to work through them as best friends, as a couple, and navigating through certain hardships — or not hardships, just communication," said Heather to Us Weekly. Heather shared that she and her husband were going to couples therapy in a March 2025 episode of the Scrubbing In with Becca Tilley and Tanya Rad podcast, as reported by E! News. She said she and Tarek have disagreed about having another child. The couple has a 2-year-old son named Tristan. Tarek and his ex-wife, Christina Haack, also have two children, Taylor and Brayden. "We're very different on what we want with our future, which is hard because you know you're in love with someone and you have this strong marriage, but then you want very different things. So, we are in therapy talking through things," said Heather on the podcast episode. While speaking to Us Weekly in May 2025, Heather clarified that possibly having more children is not the only topic she and her husband speak about in therapy. Tarek spoke about going to couples therapy in an April 2025 interview on Page Six's Virtual Reali-Tea podcast. According to Tarek, he and Heather were inspired to go to a therapist after seeing their friends' successful marriage. He also said he was "99 percent" sure he would not have any more children, even though his wife would like to give Tristan a younger sibling. "I've been a dad a very long time, since I was in my 20s. I'm turning 44 this year. I'm starting to get a little bit older. And I'm very busy with work," said Tarek during the April 2025 interview.

RHOBH's star Brandi Glanville is rushed to hospital amid her mystery facial parasite battle

dashes to the ER during her ongoing battle with a mysterious illness that's caused her to have a striking facial disfigurement. The former Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills star, 52, revealed she called 911 on Wednesday after being unable to move her head and neck for hours, preventing her from getting out of bed. Following her belief that the skin condition that has left her disfigured was caused by a parasite, she also posted photos from hospital while she was hooked up to IVs. SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO Brandi wrote on X: 'My head and neck would not move for four hours this morning. I could not get out of my bed. 'I called 911 and had a lovely trip in the ambulance, now I am at this amazing place after sitting in a wheelchair in the waiting room for four hours.' Last week, Glanville updated her social media followers that she has seen no improvement in her battle with the facial disfigurement. Brandi shared a photo of a tub filled with brown liquid, explaining it was drainage from her face that's causing various health issues. In March, she wrote: 'The clear plaque sitting on top like oily wax is produced all day by my face. 'It drains down, eroding my teeth. I can't see and have two 2 hard lumps under my left cheekbone - one on the back of the neck and jawbone. I need an infectious disease doctor who specializes in fungal infections? HELP!' Brandi, who's said to have spent over $70,000 trying to get better, also complained of having 'chills' and added that 'all of my lymph nodes in head [and] neck are swollen'. At the time she wrote: 'Doctors at Kaiser [Permanente] say I'm fine.' Updates: She used social media to keep her followers informed from her hospital bed Days prior, Brandi revealed she'd been 'faking it' with her seemingly happy demeanor and she's actually been 'f***ing miserable'. She tweeted: 'My face is worse than ever. It's literally melted away. 'When doctors at [Cedars-Sinai Medical Center] put me on IV antibiotics [and] fungal medication I was getting better. I looked normal, but I couldn't afford to stay on them. I was forced to see doctors outside my insurance because the doctors at Kaiser had no clue. I need my life to change. That is my real-life health update.' Mysterious: She suffered from symptoms of swelling and 'painful lumps' Late last year, Brandi admitted on Page Six's Virtual Reali-Tea podcast that she's been suffering from 'deep depression' amid her battle with the mysterious skin condition. She said: 'The pain is more mental than anything, because I have been hiding and going through a deep, deep depression. Even if I could work now, at this point, I couldn't. So it's just been a really rough two years for me.' She added at the time that she was also on antibiotics, which she had briefly stopped and caused the skin on her face to 'sink in'. Woes: Her facial battle began in 2023 when she was hospitalized for a stress-induced condition that causes deep layers of skin to swell up after becoming engorged with fluid (seen in 2023)
